Tripp Lite N204-S15-BL-UP Slim Cat6 Patch Cable 15ft

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE N204-S15-BL-UP is a slim Cat6 patch cable designed for structured cabling installations where space and cable management are critical. The cable features a 90-degree upward-angled connector on one end and a standard 180-degree straight connector on the other, allowing runs to route cleanly out of densely populated patch panels or switches. At 15 feet in length, it suits rack-to-rack and rack-to-device connections in server rooms, data closets, and enterprise network environments. Network technicians and low-voltage installers use this cable where standard-profile boots would otherwise create congestion in tight patch panel fields.

This cable is suited for enterprise and commercial network infrastructure, including high-density patch panel installations, top-of-rack switch connections, and structured cabling runs in data centers and IT closets. The slim jacket profile reduces bundle diameter compared to standard Cat6 cables, making it practical for installations where airflow and cable tray capacity are concerns. The blue jacket provides easy visual identification in multi-cable environments.

Key Features

• 90-degree upward-angled plug on one end for clean cable exit in tight panel layouts
• 180-degree straight plug on the opposite end for standard port termination
• Cat6 rated for Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed network applications
• Slim jacket design reduces overall bundle size in high-density installations
• Blue jacket color aids visual cable identification and organization
• 15-foot length suits rack and data closet patch runs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat6 patch cable replacement for use with RJ45 ports on network switches, patch panels, routers, and other 8P8C-compatible network equipment in enterprise and commercial structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and network installers should verify port orientation before selecting the angled-end connection to ensure the 90-degree plug exits in the intended direction. Power down or place ports out of service where possible before connecting or disconnecting patch cables in live production environments. Follow TIA-568 structured cabling standards for Cat6 patch cable bend radius and routing practices. Avoid sharp bends or kinking the slim jacket, as the reduced diameter profile offers less mechanical protection than standard Cat6 cable.
